Government love

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Otto love

The government of Liebe was formed in Denmark on March 30, 1920 by Otto Liebe as the managing government and replaced the second government of Zahle from Det RadISCHE Venstre . It was in office until April 5, 1920, when it was replaced by the Friis executive government . The government of Liebe was thus the government with the shortest term in office in the history of Denmark .

Südschleswig question, Easter crisis and interim government love

In February and March 1920 the Südschleswig question led to a government crisis . Zahle's government wanted the entire previous Duchy of Schleswig to be incorporated, but accepted a referendum in accordance with the statutes of the League of Nations . The border was drawn along the so-called “ Clausen Line ” south of Tønder and north of Flensburg , which gave Denmark a certain preference over the “ Tiedje Line ” proposed by Germany . This led to criticism of Zahle, who refused to hold early elections and was then dismissed by King Christian X. This in turn triggered a as Easter crisis (Påskekrisen) became known constitutional crisis , since the monarch after the constitution of Denmark was able to dismiss an elected government only exceptionally. On March 20, 1920 he appointed a managing government under the lawyer Otto Liebe. Liebe and his ministers were politically conservative, but not politicians themselves. They soon realized that they were no longer in control of the explosive atmosphere. Some critics noted that the king had breached the constitution and a general strike was threatened. The king was worried and on Easter Sunday, April 4, 1920, he dismissed the government of Liebe and instead appointed a new caretaker government with Michael Pedersen Friis as prime minister. After the Folketing election on April 26, 1920, he finally handed over the office to the former Prime Minister Niels Neergaard von der Venstre, who finally formed his second government on May 5, 1920 .
